Acessories are the stupidest things in SK!
Halo is very expensive,more than swords or guns which have purpose,I mean,It has no purpose,why the heck someone wants an glowing circle above their head? (Irony,halo resembles angels,like you died of getting money to buy it).
I mean It isnt cheap,15kCE for aestethic glow circle,you could buy 3 5* items which have purpose!!?
AURA,same thing,low effect,look like nothing..Pay for nothing,just an low effect..my ash tail has better effect.
And it goes on..Same useless things have insane stupid prices!?
I only find them usefull in lowering CE Price.

Seriously though. They're meant for all those super-rich players who already have got anything they could ever want in this game, those who want to look cooler than others, those who want to look unique.

The same reason diamond rings and 300 dollar shoes exist.

To show off!

Also stop making it sound like anyone who likes accessories is not normal.

"I only find them usefull in lowering CE Price."

How is it stupid if it lowers CE prices? And you spelled useful wrongly.

You said halo is stupid for being expensive.
You said you can get 3 5 star weapons for the same price as a halo.
You said halo is not practical while weapons are.

Those last 2 are valid points, weapons are more practical.

But to reiterate, expensive accessories are diamonds.
Big shiny diamonds!

@Melisan

I saw that thread, decided to not bother.

Welcome to the wonderful

Welcome to the wonderful world of MMOs Nekinovi. Go on Ebay right now, type in WoW pets (I think its pets... I don't play that game) and you'll find listings of extremely rare pets going for hundreds of dollars each that all do the same thing. The only difference is they're different looking.

People will pay a surprisingly large amount for cosmetic changes in games, aside from the "Pay to win" kind of games most F2P make a large portion of their revenue off of optional cosmetic changes that cost real money. It is because people want to look unique, and the very rare accessories do that. Anybody that knows Rubyeclipse can pick him out on sight for example because he owns a Vog set with Flame Aura, Volcanic Halo, and Volcanic Wings, and is the only one with that combo currently.

Nekinovi, your fail is fail.

"Man,you dont realize my point."

Your only point that you have actually shown us, mind you inferring from text is harder than when you have face to face conversations where you can use tone easily, is that you think accessories are stupid because they have no actual stat bonuses.

Accessories = COSMETIC ITEMS

Their purpose is to purely provide a unique look. You're saying the same thing as this: Clothing is stupid because there's more than one style. Why can't we look allthe same?

Because we don't want to. We like being unique, that is why all of us disagree with you. You are unique because you don't understand the purpose of these things :)

ummm yeah NO

Accessories are just used for looking cool cause looking all shiny is just what people want.

I mean really just cause it doesnt give good stats or kill things for you its main purpose is to add a higher level of customization to a game that has only 2 armor slots....

and its expensive because SK needs a money sink and they want you to play longer ;D

OPINIONS GENERAL, POST OPINIONS

Sure is opinions in here.

Yeah, this is a very pointless thread. Accessories were made for the more wealthier knights that want to look nice. Also there's a reason why we have jewlery, fancy hats and apparel in real life. Shouldn't take you long to realize this.

Ha!

Despite everything....

You could say accessories are stupid.. they do nothing other than "change" your look and also say one hundred things more.

But Nekinovi, they are there... and believe me; there is not much we can do for just calling them stupid. I strongly recommend you to just let them be there, if you are able to spend your currencies in better things than a Halo, go for it.

I know you are not the first person hating things that the game has added.. but look at us. Running into Shadow Lairs and spending our crowns in wings and halos.

The game has just been releasing the things that we want in a way. Also don't forget that we are still behind the character, if you want something try to have it.

Well,acessories are bit

Well,acessories are bit stupid..
And graphically,they dnt look so unique,unique it would be if we could have like: transform into trojan..and others..
my point is that acessories are not pretty unique,I see players with tails,auras and other ones,but most of new players dont recognize them..Even my flower is recognized more than twinkle aura..
I feel 15kCE is too high for acessory,because It has no purpose..but that are endgame players..and Im not even 5 *,and I cannot sell my stuff which has an use.1500CE is big,big,big money to me.
Anx I put 10x lower value because I knew that noone is going to do it,because I didnt came here to begg,altought,about 1500CE,Silly I just need about 1,4kCE for Vog.

Did you know all featured auctions start at 1 crown? It's the playerbase that bids up the items to insane levels, since they're so bloody rare. Complaining to the developers won't do anything since they'd be hanging themselves if they made them common (since the players who *do* have them would go into a frothing rage; see shadow keys).

So basically you're complaining about the playerbase, which is completely futile.

If you think it's stupid for being expensive...why bother then? Ignore it, do something else. Accessories are rare, thusly expensive BECAUSE they're just aesthetic gimmicks for people who have the cash to throw around. They won't affect gameplay at all.

I figure you're probably just bitching because you want one, but can't afford it, in which case....get over it.

Accessories being expensive

Accessories being expensive just says the SK players are starved for new content. If they released the accessories at the same time releasing a bunch of new gear, I doubt the accessories would be so expensive. If everybody didn't care about the accessories when they came out, and nobody was willing to pay a lot for them....they'd be dirt cheap now. I mean just look how we're being screwed over in the accessories for color or prefix description. Fancy/Divine/Volcanic, just a color or word difference....yet huge price difference.

It's like this because we collectively let it be like this.

It's got nothing to do iwth

It's got nothing to do iwth needing new content, it's just the way it is in every single MMO out there. Accessories and fashions are always more expensive because they're an aesthetic only. Rich, latergame players with more money to spend make higher offers for accessories since they don't need much armour, whereas lower game players need the actual important gear before fashions, so never bid much on them, letting prices rise, and they become (get this!) the prices of fashion!

Exactly the same in the real world, too. Fashion will always be more expensive than, say, food.
